I had a high desk that I had for the last for years been using an uncomfortable, but tolerable, drafting char as a desk chair. It recently broke and I set out to find another chair to use, but that more similar to a desk chair (adjustable back, arms that move, etc).
I had found this chair (and a few similar ones) on amazon, and eliminated some because there were no, or mostly poor, reviews. I was left between this and one other. I ultimately settled on this because I'm a bigger guy (6'1. 250-ish lbs) and the other chairs weight capacity was 250lbs, and I didn't want to push it.
The reviews on this almost scared me off, they were all over the place. People complaining about the directions, the quality, fitment, materials, etc. If I'm about to drop 150+ bucks on a chair, I want it to work and be easy to assemble, and comfortable. So I took a chance.
And I'm glad I did. The chair arrived at my door today and 11:20, and it's 11:42 right now as I write this... sitting in my chair. The directions where super simple and easy to understand (I've had way harder times with ikea things).. The quality is great, assembly was super easy, and I'm not all that handy (attaching the chair back to the seat took about 2 minutes of patience, but it wasn't hard).. The adjustments work great, the seat and back are super comfy. The foot rail is adjustable so I could match it to the height I needed which is awesome. Plus - it looks great.
I'll update my review if it changes, but I'm super glad I pulled the trigger on this.. Not sure of some of the reviews were old, more frustration than review, or if the company improved Quality Control.. but it's great, and I would say if you have any hesitancy, don't worry. You'll be fine!

Quality-comfortable chair that sits at the perfect height.
I purchased this chair because I was in need of a chair that would sit at the right height for a new drafting table I had acquired. Though I am not an architect, I am a graphic designer who loves to draw for fun. After discovering that the drafting table sits (way) higher than a normal desk, I quickly began searching for drafting chairs. I was new to the product market and was unaware of what was a good brand in the drafting world. Thus, I bought this chair.I was a little skeptical because the negative reviews are not encouraging. After a week and a half of owning it, I have not encountered any functional problems with my chair thus far. Cosmetically, the mesh material on the backrest was ripped upon opening it. I have yet to attempt to contact the seller, so I will update my review after I have exhausted my efforts.What I like most about it:- Chair height: - perfect for my drafting table (#1 reason for purchase) - Drafting table is about 33.5 inches tall - Lowest chair height: 23-24 inches tall - Max chair height: 29-30 inches tall- Comfortable: - can sit for hours with easy (no pain) - footstool works well (can adjust height) - can recline and lock seat position - armrests flip up (they do not adjust up or down)- Strong & Sturdy - feels like a good quality product - one that will (hopefully) last a good while- Easy Assembly - took about 10-15 mins- Looks greatWhat I don't like about it: (what kept it from a 5-star review)- The mesh material on backrest was ripped upon arrival

The Modway Edge Drafting chair is very easy to assemble, manufactured with good materials and is very ergonomic. I bought this chair since it can be raised to the bar height table that I use as my desk at home. I replaced the original casters it came with for aftermarket casters that won't harm or scratch wood flooring. By zooming into the 4th picture, you'll be able to identify the brand of the aftermarket castors or wheels. Overall I am pleased with the ease of assembly. It came with all the hardware with one of each additional, just in case one became lost plus the tools, an Allen wrench. My only negative comment is that the seat is not mesh designed and made of faux leather which can feel hot after sitting for long periods of time. Definitely, though, a good chair to keep you warm in the winter. Of course, if you need the warmth, this chair would be fine. The breathable mesh backing keeps your back cool. This chair is designed to provide good lumbar support for ones back. I rate the lumber support a 3 out of a possible 5, because as with other lumber support products, I feel the lumbar support feature could be desogned closer the tailbone. But, overall I am very happy that I bought the chair.
